don't know about "rafa nadal's game" though, but for an 8 year old, this is some hitting in terms of ball height and consistency

there is no way this kid could completely copy Rafa
he wont even get close, so this kid should give up on his dreams

why? if he likes the game thats fine... everyone should play even if you cant get a point. if they like the game they can play.seriously if hes 8 then he could be a great player if he keeps playing.

Whats so ugly about his technique? the heavy topspin? Well it must work becuase using that technique got him to world no1

That doesn't look like Nadal at all. Those strokes were much too flat for his style of play.

I think that this kid is OK, but I am not seeing a whole lot of potential in him. His footwork could improve greatly...that was the biggest thing I noticed about him. But he's only 8 so there is a chance.

My 8yo daughter is ten times better than him. Not seeing anything that special. Balls are all coming right to him, no footwork, technique looks sloppy.

You cant be commenting about him if your a parent. Of course YOU think your daughter is 10x better than he is she is YOUR daughter... What parent would say thier child is an ugly fat pig that is the worst player in the world

This kid is much better... http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=224495

I didn't go back and read the whole thread to find out his age. He may be a little older than 8, but he is the best kid I've seen thus far.

Take care.
